# Testimonials

Show what people say about you on your website, with each quote, who said it and a link to where they said it.

## Use it when

Use it when you have good words from customers, reviewers or the press and want them on your website.

## Use something else when

To thank sponsors and partners, use [Supporters](/docs/features/data/presets/supporters-table). To introduce your team, use [People](/docs/features/data/presets/people-table).

## How to add it

1. Open **My Business**, then **Advanced**, then **Data**.
2. Press **New data**.
3. Under **Suggested**, pick **Testimonials**.
4. Under **Options**, keep the name "Testimonials" or type your own.
5. Press **Review changes**, check what it adds, then press **Apply**.

You see **Added**, and the new table opens, empty.

## How to add a quote

1. Open **Testimonials**, or the name you gave it.
2. Press **New testimonial**. If you renamed the table, the button may say something else.
3. Under **Quote**, type what they said.
4. Under **Name**, type who said it. Add their **Role or publication**, a **Photo**, a **Source link** and a number in **Order** (under **More**) to choose where it appears, if you have them.
5. Press **Create testimonial**.

You see **Testimonial created**, and the quote is in your list.

## How to show them on your website

1. Open **My Sites**, open your site, and choose **Data** in the editor's side panel.
2. Press **Add a section** and pick **Testimonials**.
3. Under **Your table**, choose your Testimonials table, press **Review changes**, then **Apply**.
4. Under **Put on a page**, choose the **Page** and press **Put it here**.
5. Press **Publish** when you're ready. Nothing goes live until you publish.

## What it adds or changes

- **Opens as**: Table
- **Columns**: Name · Quote · Role or publication · Neighborhood · Photo · Source link · Featured · Order
- **Works with**: Data on your site

Creates an empty table · no rows or automations

It adds a table with these columns:

| Column | Type | Choices |
|---|---|---|
| Name | text |  |
| Quote | long text |  |
| Role or publication | text |  |
| Neighborhood | text |  |
| Photo | images |  |
| Source link | url |  |
| Featured | boolean |  |
| Order | integer |  |

## Example

Brightside Cleaning, a fictional cleaning business, adds "They left the flat spotless before we handed back the keys", by "Jo M., tenant", **Order** 1. A quote from a local newsletter gets **Order** 2 and a link to the article. The Testimonials section on its home page shows Jo's quote first.

## If something isn't working

- **The quotes you ticked as Featured aren't the ones shown first.** The section follows **Order**, not **Featured**. Give your favourites the lowest numbers.
- **Your rows don't show on your website.** Check the section is on a page (**Put on a page**) and that you've pressed **Publish** since adding it.
- **Your table isn't offered under Your table.** That section needs a table made from this one, with its columns. Pick **Custom** in **Add a section** to show any table instead.
- **There's no New data button, or it says "You don't have access to make lists here."** Your role can't make tables. Ask an admin of your business for access.
- **"These changes are out of date. Review them and apply again."** Press **Review changes** again, then **Apply**.

## Limits

- Quotes aren't copied in from review sites. Add each one yourself.
